The Yokuts Language of South Central California

A. L. Kroeber

The Indians of the Yokuts linguistic family, sometimes also called Mariposan, inhabited the southern end of the San Joaquin basin in California. Roughly, their territory extended from the Sierra Nevada to the Coast Range, and from the Tehachapi mountains which shut off the San Joaquin basin on the south from the desert, to the Fresno and Chowchilla rivers in the north. The higher Sierras all along this territory, and certain foothill regions in the south, were occupied by Indians belonging to the Shoshonean family.

The great level stretch of valley throughout, and in most cases the foothills also, were occupied by the Yokuts. A detached branch of the family, known as the Cholovone, inhabited a small area on the east bank of the San Joaquin, in the vicinity of Stockton, considerably nearer the mouth of this river than the remainder of the stock. The Cholovone are perhaps entirely extinct and are certainly practically so. Their language is unknown except from one pub-lished vocabulary, which shows it to have been a Yokuts dialect not very different from the remainder of the family.

The various dialects are on the whole closely related. Their general structure and their phonetic system are virtually identical. There is also considerable similarity in vocabulary (adapted from the introduction. Re-edition. Originally published 1907 in Berkeley).

Contents: 1.The Yaudanchi dialect. 2. The Yauelmani dialect. 3. Other dialects and comparisons. Each with chpaters on the phonetic system, structure, nominal and verbal morphology, and texts. (Re-edition. Originally published Berkeley, 1907, by the University Press).
